Christian Lee says he could feel Alibeg Rasulov "starting to break" before their first fight was cut short

‘The Warrior’ Christian Lee believes he was well on his way to beating and finishing Alibeg Rasulov at ONE Fight Night 26 on Prime Video last year, before an accidental eye poke forced a quick and abrupt halt to their fight.

He told ONE:

“In the moment, it really felt like he came out prepared. I landed some good shots on him. He was able to defend the takedowns really well. And then, I felt a shift. I felt like the momentum was really starting to go my way, and I could feel him starting to break."

Lee added:

“So when the initial eye poke happened, I was like, ‘Okay, give him some time.’ I thought he was just trying to get a breather. But when it was called off, I really felt like the victory was right there.”
